- AI is increasingly used in weather and climate modeling, but it involves machine learning (ML) techniques, not just large language models (LLMs).
- An AI-generated forecast map with fake cities was a social media misstep, not part of actual forecast models, highlighting that meteorologists aren't being replaced by AI.
- Machine learning identifies patterns in data, from simple linear regressions to complex algorithms, by training models on large datasets to optimize predictions.
- In weather and climate simulations, machine learning techniques are tailored to the specific strengths and weaknesses of each field, differing between short-term weather and long-term climate models.
